I appreciate you all so much! Thank you for being here ❤
I ♥️everything you do‼️ sorry. I had a little too much wine while I was watching. 🙄😁
I’ve been here several years, I found you while searching for food prep. Never mastered the food prep, but enjoy your videos always! Your like a great neighbor. I’m hanging in with ya! You’re awesome !!♥️🐾
You are all about sharing life. Life changes. You are real, honest, funny and caring. Thank you for letting go along on your life journey whatever form it takes
I'm with the others, I will continue to watch any types of videos you post!
I’m fairly new to your channel and have enjoyed watching and will continue.
I don't think you need to make excuses for the fact that you have grown as a person,everyone changes, and life changes, I don't feel like anything in your videos is lacking in content. You are so real, fun, and relatable. Don't worry. You work hard. You dont owe anyone anything.
No one in the real world stays stagnant. This is your channel and people will flock to you because they can relate to you. You are a working Mom with children and that hasn't changed. Keep doing what you do!
I’m a single, childless (by choice) woman in her late 30’s, and I have always loved watching your channel. While I don’t have the same lifestyle you do, I still love all of your content! Keep doing what makes you and your family happy and healthy ❤️
I love your frankness and honesty. It never bothers me when you do sponsor commercials because you’re just trying to make money. “YouTubing” is a job! You deserve to earn money. I love anytime you cook, no matter the “theme”. I’m 75 years old and have been cooking for 55 years. You still teach me things! Thanks, Jen. 🌺
Same here. I am way past the stage of cooking for other people on a regular basis, but you are never too old to learn new recipes or household hacks. Thank you for sharing with us.
Meee too!!! I'm 73 and learn something new every time I watch! I thought the whole idea of serious UA-camrs were to make money! Keep on keeping on hon! You don't owe us any explanation!!!
Me too and I am 61 years old and started cooking/baking/canning when I needed a step stool to reach the counter with my Grandma and my Mom
I COMPLETELY agree! The work that goes in to some people's videos is amazing! What's the difference between a 9 to 5 job or spending so many hours to put out one of these videos? This job seems more fun but it's a job and if you can get paid, I applaud you for it! I'd hate to see someone sell their soul to a certain product (as a sponsor) but life is about learning.
Love how real you are, to be honest. You seem like a very blunt, to the point person, as am I, so I appreciate it. Keep sharing your actual real life!
The one thing that drew me to your channel is the realness. Real food real life plus your personality. You’re so right everyone changes in 5 years.
5 years ago today we sold our house in Austin and moved to a small beach town. Everyone told me we were crazy to leave Austin. I would do it all over again it was the best thing for us.
😊 Great video Jen
The funny thing about the growth - I highly doubt the people upset that you’ve changed haven’t changed in their own lives. Your comment about the sit com thing is spot on. If they want everything to stay the same maybe they should watch a sit com instead of UA-cam. I feel like I’ve grown right along with you and that’s why I’m still here. I’ve gone through a move across the country, my parents got divorced and one is now estranged, I left a job, got a new one and immediately got laid off, I’ve gone on a mental health rollercoaster, my child has gone from struggle bus to straight A’s, I’m definitely going through perimenopause….looking back on that, I don’t know if I would have kept watching if you didn’t evolve too. Growth and change is the name of the game. You keep doing you and I’ll keep watching 😉.
I love your videos & will watch whatever you post 😊
You're the best!
Two of my fave UA-camrs!! 😍
Two of my faves as well!
I have been watching for years. I loved the weekend prep, grocery hauls, and freezer recipes. I do miss watching you have a beer in the closet when you would clean it. 😂 You are really only one of the UA-camrs I watch still, I find you the most relatable and you feel like one of my girlfriends.
You're one of the only family vloggers I still watch besides just the bells bc you've stayed so relatable. Keep on being so genuine.
Jen, you don't owe anyone an explanation. I found you during covid and truly enjoy the way you change content. It is a pleasure to go along with you for the ride.
I've only found your Chanel about 5 months ago, you just popped up one day. I enjoy all your video's, I think its because you're not pretending to be something you're not. I think my favorite video's are anything with cooking in them, but honestly I will watch everything of yours. I think people forget that your human and not a puppet set to perform for us. You let your guard down, did something most of us don't have the guts to do and are very graciously letting us have a glimpse of your life andI for one am here for it! ❤
Hey, Jen! I am a 36 y/o ED nurse practitioner with two boys and a military spouse. We have lived in Japan several times during our military journey and have found ourselves back in Japan for the next few years. For the first time in my life I am unable to work and find myself living vicariously through your channel. I miss working very much and I miss having stores like Costco! Seeing your hauls gives me a little taste of home and makes my day. I really love your content and hope you continue showing us your journey in whatever way fits you now. Thanks for what you do! 🫶🏼
My son would be super jealous.. he did an exchange program there and now is looking for job opportunities after college to go back (without the military cause his second goal is to be a millionaire by 40😅)
I love seeing meal prep, grocery hauls, and weight loss actually anything health related 😊
Still love ya Jen
I am 80 years old and my children and grandchildren are grown but I like videos on young families working Mom reminds me of and what I have lived through
I like cooking and planning and shopping
I like how down to earth you are
Hi Jen, I just have to say how much your channel has helped me. I’ve been watching you since way before I had my daughter just for inspiration on cooking and homemaking. As I’ve gone through the journey of pregnancy, postpartum, and now having a toddler, I can honestly say that hearing you be candid about the difficulties of raising little kids and watching how much your life changed (career changes, changes in the focus of some of your videos) gave me so much hope that each time in our life is a different season. I appreciate you more than you know and I hope you don’t become discouraged by people who don’t appreciate change.
Hi Jen, I want to commend you on how you reflect upon and respond to the criticism you receive. You are very introspective and deliver your response in a respectful and considered way. I only started watching your channel about a year ago. My life is quite different to yours, but I relate to you on many levels. You inspire me and I really enjoy your videos xx
5 years, started looking for "cleaning motivation" videos that helped with my postpartum depression and kinda felt like I had a friend in the videos I'd found. So you came up in that group of creators and I feel like you've genuinely become a friend ❤️
You handled this with so much grace and class. Well done.
I love all of your videos and def get inspired by them ❤
Thank you so much!!
The beauty of UA-cam is watching people shift and evolve..I totally respect the changes you have made regarding your kids. I started watching in 2020 while looking for recipes ideas..I’m not a mom but we are almost the same age, you’re like my wise younger sister ha! I like the idea of just random blurbs throughout a week/season just doing simple things. Decorating for the holidays, clothing hauls and your latest favorite things are fun too❤
I never start a day without looking to see if you posted a video. Jeeze
you're becoming my coffee.❤😊
Me too
As a newer UA-camr (I’ve been working on my channel for two years), I so appreciate you being so candid. This video gave me a lot to think about in terms of how when we grow and change as people or our circumstances change, our video content naturally does too.
I’m glad to see that you’ve received such positive feedback from your viewers on this video. I hope you keep sharing your journey and how you’re evolving both as a person and as a UA-camr because it’s that honesty that I think helps others the most.
I started watching you in 2018 while I was teaching second grade in Beijing, China. I enjoyed your meal preps and grocery hauls. My family is from the Dubuque area, so I loved your trips to Hy-Vee. Your videos always gave me a little glimpse of home. I still watch you every week, even though I am back in the United States. I'm a teacher in Chicago. I'm married and have a 10 year old daughter. Even though I'm 50, I still find you very relatable and enjoyable.
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm in my 50s, but I relate to your channel a lot. I'm a nurse working in business now. My kids are grown and on their own, but I was a working mom. I cuss a little. I had a similar religious mom experience growing up and we were poor. You were still at the hospital when I started watching, and I've been cheering you on through your new job and cookbook and watching you grow. I happen to love the travel videos but also love the cooking/productivity content. You also sometimes put together really interesting, well researched videos on relevant topics that I like.
However (dun dun duuun) IMHO, this December no Vlogmas. It's too much pressure to put on yourself. Same for a lot of UA-camrs but you have a seriously full plate. As always, thanks for sharing.
I love all of Jen's videos. I've been watching for years.🥰🥰🥰🥰
My current favorite videos of yours are the what I eat in a week series. Always appreciate how candid you are.
I am drawn to your authenticity. Please just keep being you and put out content that relates to YOU!!! Thank you for sharing your world with us!
I started watching you 3 1/2 years ago while supporting a special needs individual that I had worked with for 26 years while he was in the hospital… I can’t even put into words how much your videos helped me through long days staring at walls… it helped me keep my spirits up and then in turn I was able to pass that positivity on to this wonderful man. I will be ever grateful!! You have worked incredibly hard to become the person you are so enjoy it! People that have so much negative to say we’re probably afforded the same in life but didn’t choose to work hard to overcome it and find it easier to be bitter about it it. 🥂to you and your straight teeth!!😂❤
I’ve been your “die hard” watcher since 2019. The part I enjoy the most in your videos is the time management aspect of being a working mom I.e. managing to cook healthy while having a full time job and raising two children. I’d like to see more of how you manage to do it throughout the week. Also I’d like to say that you inspired me to have a baby of my own while having a career.
Seems like the comments came from people who most likely aren't growing in their lives. And seeing you grow makes them, '"uncomfortable". And now they can't relate. Wanting you to stay at their level. Never dumb yourself down for others because they can't digest it. I still find you very relatable. I think some people are still pissy about when you revealed your income and expenses that time in one of your video. They can't even fathom making and spending that amount of money every month. Oh well 🤷🏾♀️
I’ve been watching since 2019. We are similar ages, our kids are similar ages and I also went from working outside the home full time to working from home full time. I still enjoy watching even the ones that feel repetitive. I would love to see you do more videos like this! Sit down q&a’s! I do miss when you would go live too! Those were fun! I know for myself in this stage of life I’m finding it hard to have meaningful friendships because everyone is just so busy. I feel like when you’re home with babies and toddlers it was much easier to have friendships with other moms. Anyway I feel like I’m rambling but your channel to me feels like hanging out with my mom friend! So I’m thankful for you!
I personally like to see the evolution of a persons life and how they present it. I’ve liked watching your progression and have no complaints! Keep doing you!
Ive been watching you for a couple years, you were still working on your basement! You are one of my favorites to watch and i watch them all...my favorites are the cooking ones and the weekend prep ones! That's why i started watching your channel, but i find tou relatable and funny!
I'd love an updated "how much I made on UA-cam" video. Including sponsorships. You did one years ago and it would be interesting to compare now that your channel has grown.
Hi Jen! WOW, Fantastic video! You have worked so hard to be where you are now, not just your Channel, but your profession as well. I started watching back in the "4 am get ready with me days". You are honest, hard working, genuine! I haven't commented much, but I want you to know how much you have inspired me!
I absolutely love your travel videos, especially the one in Washington DC where you visited so many landmarks. It was so beautiful to see that. You shouldn't always do the same thing... you're growing and changing and living your life, and we're blessed to be able to come along with you as you live your life. I have depression and on many days I have found inspiration watching your videos...any of them! Thank you for sharing with us!
I love ALL of your videos! The weekend preps, your weight loss journey, what you eat in a day, your working mom blogs ... I think they all speak to this stage in my life and I'm so happy to get the ideas. I started watching your videos when you did the Keto Meal Preps and I have stayed for everything else. You keep doing what's true to you and what brings you joy!
I have watched your videos since 2018. I have enjoyed all of them. I love how honest you are. My most favourite are the grocery hauls and meal videos. Oh and seeing Murphy and Milo.
I’m just appalled how mean people are these days! You can express your opinions or give your own dews without being a jerk!! 💕💕💕
Hey it’s your KC friend here with everyone else, just appreciating the honesty. Gosh, I have been watching since Conner was six and missing teeth 😂 and I’m not real sure how I found you. 🤷🏼♀️ I think for me, I watch you because watching you helps me to balance my life too. I think what you might not know is that most of us don’t want the pretty videos. We want the real ones on what you do when you have soccer all weekend. Hey, we got stuff too. So how does that affect what you do the rest of the week? That would be a video I like. Do you take like one night to cook a few dishes then reinvent leftovers on other knights? Are you having to carve out way more time each night to dinner? Do you keep certain frozen items or pantry items to pull together a quick meal? I think most of us would love what you do in those short pockets of time to make life better. Also, you’ve worked hard to get to where you are. Don’t let others make you feel bad for that. I’m proud of you and you inspire me! 💗
Jen I am a stay at home mother to four. I don’t work from home like you but just know I seriously love your content and not just your content but your personality, you’re very down to earth and relatable in so many ways. And I look forward to any video you put out it’s like hanging with a friend, while I am dojng my mundane housework and changing diapers etc. lol You’re so awesome, just do you boo, and don’t live to please anyone.
✌🏼😌♥️
I’ve been a long-term follower, I have loved your videos for many years which is why I am still a subscriber! What you’ve explained in this video made total sense. I feel like I’ve grown with you which makes your content still relatable to me, personally. For feedback I have loved your meal prep and meal inspo as a busy working mom myself. I love your creativity. I feel like I get in a rut cooking and I love how you keep incorporating new meals that are simple and delicious, they’ve been tried and true! I now have evolved with teens as you have so I love evolving with you on “teen friendly” meals. Love your channel and will continue being a loyal follower! Thank you for your content! ❤
Love you girl! Been a long time subscriber, since around 2018/19 ish. You were recommended because of your cooking videos. Those are my fav. You inspire me. Watched them all but don’t comment much. Got your cookbook, loved it then told my sister she needed it too because she and I love to cook. Love your hauls, budget cooking and everything to do with food. I now live in Colorado, but I grew up with not much in Nebraska so we are both mid westerners at heart. Keep being you in whatever chapter of life you are in. Your true followers will always be here for you! Hugs and love, Shari.
The content that I really enjoy from you is when you share your day to day life and random Jen chats are pretty awesome. Thanks for keeping it real. ❤😊
Please keep growing as a person & taking us along with you 😊
Jen, you are human and you have grown and evolved in your life and on your channel. There is nothing wrong with that. I appreciate the content you share so keep on being YOU! The constructive way you responded to the comments is truly admirable. You just keep on being true to yourself! One tiny request? Please just make sure the dogs get their video cameos regularly…because they are so darn cute. Thanks for being awesome! :)
I have been watching your videos since you were a scrapbooker, and I’m still watching your videos because I really enjoy your various content. Your personality is very engaging and your videos are amazing. Keep up the great content.
Oh my gosh, yes! Five years ago, I was unmarried, living in an apartment, working at a job I hated, and had no kids. Now I’ve been married 4 years, have a house we built, a job I love, and two beautiful children! We can change so much over a short period of time! I watch you because you work and show me how I too can manage it all. You are a role model for me, Jen! I will always watch your videos.
Thanks for sharing!!
I love your content. I don’t do a lot of grocery shopping because I am recently divorced. My children are grown and out of the home. My grands are 3, 14, and 15 but I love seeing others shop. I love your success. What you do here on YT WORKS FOR ME. So I’ll be sticking around for a while longer. I appreciate your ability to HEAR comments and care enough to address would-be problems. You’re stuck with me….keep ‘‘em coming.
I found you from frugal fit mom about a year ago. I’m not a working mom but I really like how real/honest you are about things. Cooking videos are probably my favorite. Next to True crime that’s probably what I watch the most. Im not necessarily into food prep videos or cleaning videos but I like just real life videos. Day in the life stuff. Week night meals. I enjoy your travel blogs too. And I can totally appreciate not putting your kids out there. As my kids get older they are not wanting to be on it either and I totally respect that.
There is so much irony in those comments bc I find that I really enjoy your channel for the lack of redundancy and complacency. I’m about 10 years younger than you and I watch you out of admiration for your ability to manage all of the things that you do and still come across as relatable.
I love your videos, Jen! ❤ I can’t remember when I started watching (3-4 years ago for sure) and I love all grocery, mom and cooking content. I’m no help, but I seriously love and watch everything you post.
Thanks for the update. I found you and Mindi when you all did a retreat together in CA. I was following Christine and that lead me to you guys!
Thank you for your honesty, always, Jen! ❤ I work in marketing and I don't think people realize just how honest you are in comparison to other content creators here on UA-cam. I also appreciate your transparency with your children and allowing them to decide for themselves whether or not they want to be on this very public platform. I am someone who has been subscribed for years and I too do not watch as often as I used to but that is only because I am consuming less content for mental health purposes. However I do believe that there are subscribers who unfortunately are struggling (and I am not saying all of them but a lot of people are struggling) right now financially and I believe they come to UA-cam to escape their routines and what they find is often people working very hard and able to afford extras that they themselves cannot afford; so they start finger pointing at the content creators. 👀 I say this not based on a whim but on data and study of influencer marketing and micro influencer marketing specifically in platforms like TikTok and UA-cam that are very video heavy. Just my two cents.😊 You will always be one of my favorites because you are not trying to stuff us with BS content from "Trader Joe's." You are a very real interpretation of a working career driven mom. I am not a mom, but I have my own business and believe in living debt free. Still, I like to work hard and play harder. 😝 Its all relative. People need to take from content creators what they need and leave the rest. ✌🏼
@mochacondolce
Very well written. Like your thought process and written content. Thanks for reading my mind and gluing my thoughts together as they were running around like a toddler who just snuck a second snack while mommy is in the bathroom. 😂
I totally get that! Inflation is real and people are struggling.
I older than you and still love watching your meal video, the adorable dogs. I think a sprinkle of your travel video are giving another side of your life and so very nice. I love your advertisers because I would never know about them if you didn't and many of them are very good. I like your emotional moments when it comes to your up bringing and how hard you worked. Watchout for viewerswho are jealous of your mega hauls (not understanding you worried for it). Personally I love them. Well as you tell, I think you are wonderful. Thanks so much for your hard work❤
I've been here since 2019 and love your content! It was a big inspiration in starting my own channel. I do love the hauls and weekend prep videos, but I watch everything you publish.
I have been following for a long time, and I absolutely love your channel! I will watch anything you put out. Keep the great videos coming.
Love your content. I am a nurse as well and a single mom with many hats to juggle.. I don't have the opportunity to pursue my education to advance to the level u have, but I aspire to it. You give me that hope you help me to keep all the moving parts moving. That I can do it. I watch u and you give me hope and a new attitude. I like everything you do including doing less work and enjoying yourself sometimes. You deserve it. I've been on your channel for about 5 years. Keep doing all u do. We all change and evolve.
I started watching you when you were commuting to the hospital. I was blown away about how hard you worked, had a commute and still did UA-cam. I’m still impressed with all the work travel you have now. You are about my kids’ age. So I’m not relating with my current lifestyle, but I still love your channel. I like to cook, I’ve been working until the first of this year when I retired, shopping hauls, etc. thanks, love the channel.
Thoughts...take it like any friendship...some are there for a lifetime and some are there for a season. As you grow and change some people will stick around and some won't. BE YOU BOO! Those who you want and need around you will support you and follow you through your journey ❤
I appreciate the fact you have respect for all your family members when filming.
I started watching about a year ago and what really drew me to your channel was the fact that you're a full time working mom and you're real, like.. honest and blunt. Lol. I understand the whole "curated content" thing but I would rather watch real people with real problems and emotions. I am also a full time working mom of two and you have helped inspire me when I felt like "I dont have time for anything!" lol. And I've watched your older videos and I enjoy every version of you so far. We're supposed to grow and change, that's what makes us human. The easy and convenient, yet still homemade meals I love and would always like to see more of.
I love your honesty, your openness regarding your weight, you have a great sense of humor ( is it time for school yet) comment was so true, and I’m 77 years old and my kids are grown but i know exactly what you meant!! I enjoy just listening to you talk about your travels and yes I enjoy your Walmart shopping again because you do it with a sense of humor included👍🏻I think anything you put up on utube I will gladly watch, you go girl friend, be yourself❤️❤️
One other note, I love the way you include your pups, I’m a gorgeous mom and they are family too❤️❤️
That was not to be gorgeous mom it was suppose to say I’m a dog mom, darn spell check
Wow! I’m so impressed by your openness in answering that question. I’m also impressed that you get $4000 sponsorships! Good for you! College tuition has really been hard for us and it’s great you’re getting a handle on it now. We were taken by surprise with our first. Anyway, I’ve been watching since you switched from scrapbooking content. I like how your channel has grown and evolved with your career and family’s needs. I’d love some planner videos every now and then. I enjoy everything else! ❤
I sat here and listened to your whole video while catching up with work at 11PM. Very mom life for me at the moment and I just want to tell you that I wasn’t a fan way back then in the day but I am a fan now a days! I think you are very transparent with everyone here and I love your honesty. As a working mom I love your video and I agree there aren’t a lot of working mom on UA-cam that work a “9 to 5” job and I def think it’s needed. I also really like that you show us so much without showing us ur kids. Your personal story really resonates with me bc I too grew up very poor and have worked very hard to make sure my daughter doesn’t go through a lot of the things I went thru. I personally
Love your shopping and cooking videos because I always get great ideas from your videos. :) if you read this entire thing sorry for the mega long comment.
Hi! I have been watching you for 5 years and truthfully i have been growing alongside of you!! We all need to evolve and that is exaclty what you have done. I love all of your video yet would love to see some some such as you mentioned to follow you through your day...but truthfully I would watch.anything due to your transparency. I appreciate that more than anything!! Keep doing what you love because it will show through in your videos! Rock on Jen!
I have been watching for 5 years. I found your grocery hauls and dinner videos. I am 42, I have been a SAHM but also a working mom. Life changes and people change, I think when channels try to stay exactly the same it gets kind of boring. I can only watch someone clean their house the exact same way so many times (honestly I stopped watching all cleaning videos, they make me feel like I don't do enough and I am not about that life lol). I like that you keep it real and you don't "conform" to the fake fluff of social media. Keep doing you Jen.
I started watching you a couple of years ago and initially, when I discovered you live in the same town as some relatives of mine, I was super intrigued. I enjoy your content, especially your work travel and cooking videos. I think you do a great job and am a firm believer in lifting each other up, especially us women!
I don't have kids or a UA-cam channel. But I just want to praise and thank you for respecting your kiddos desire to not be on the I internet. You are a Star.....they don't need to be 🤓 love you
❤Hi! Jen... Thank you for sharing your daily life with us all these years. I look forward to your videos!! Take care
I appreciate that you didn't just dismiss the comment. Always appreciate your honesty!
I've watched your videos since 2018. Another youtuber mentioned your channel but I couldn't tell you who that was.. 😂 favorite videos are DITL or the travel vlogs (even if they get the most views 😀)
You are doing a wonderful job! Screw the negative comments and the obviously negative people!
Truth 💯
Hi Jen - I have really only been watching your channel for a couple of years, but I enjoy how real you are. You’re like a friend that I’m just chatting with. I enjoy your weight loss struggle and what I eat in a week, as I have those very same struggles. Your grocery hauls are good too. I’m glad that you had time to reflect on how your life and channel has changed over time - that’s a good thing, but you certainly don’t need to explain your choices to anyone. Just keep up the great job you continue to do. Take care.
Hey Jen. I have been watching your videos for several years. I am also a nurse, but am 16 months away from retirement. And I can’t wait!!! I enjoy your extreme budget and the cook with me videos.
Personally, I love your meal prep and budget cooking videos. Also, I appreciate your authenticity and honesty. I'm a long time follower and I really enjoy your channel. Thank you!
I love watching your videos and have been for a couple years now. I can relate to a lot of things:) I love watching the lunch videos and organizing cleaning videos because they motivate me and inspire me….but I also like watching grocery hauls and weekend prep videos as well as day in the life. Heck I like them all lol, I love that your transparent about UA-cam. I can’t believe I’ve typed all this and haven’t even really answered your question. I guess I’m here to say keep doing what your doing and I’ll be here to watch!❤
I’m a silent watcher but I have won a giveaway of yours. You’re so relatable compared to most influencers nowadays. Your very down to earth and honest. Keep doin you it’s just fine 🥰
Been here since 2018. I love all the videos you create. I like the fact that you are real, you share a working mum's reality. I feel encouraged when I watch you.
Yes! Lean from Grady’s mom was the best! Miss her channel. You are one of my fav You Tubers. Keep it up.
Relationships and social circles generally grow together or grow apart. It’s a natural logical process. Self development is important and when we change if others are not in alignment with us, they fall away and that’s good because then you attract people that are more in alignment. Staying authentic and transparent we are standing in our truth and power. We are in full in alignment with who we are. There’s always going to be somebody who has something negative to say , the good news is, it’s validation for us of who our audience is, and who our tribe is. Negativity allows us to see all the positive and beautiful things in life I’m not taking for granted.
It is completely natural to get burned out on doing the same thing over and over. Isn’t that the mother of change? Keep doing what your heart leads you to do. That will keep your channel real and honest, which is why we are here. ❤
Hey Jen, Ive been watching you for about 3 years! I don't remember how I found you I think probably just a recommended video or something but I love to cook and I do know it was a cooking video of yours but im not sure which one lol!
I just love all of your videos. I especially love your meal prep and planning. I am also a WFH RN and I find your channel relaxing and so relatable. Thanks for being you and ever changing😍😘 Oh and BTW I am one of your die hards😉
You have been so inspirational for me! Especially showing how you make all of these meals ahead of time before you travel for work - you’re still caring for them even when you are away. Whatever you produce is appreciated. Don’t worry about views and what we want - do what’s best for you and for your family. We’ll be here regardless!
Many hugs. I remember the journaling videos and scrapbooking. I love your transparency too.
I myself go through times of watching UA-cam daily to not touching it for months (work and personal life busyness.)
That being said I love watching you in general because of your mindset and sound advice - it is very refreshing ❤
Many thanks for all that you do. And mad respect for you too!
Also, if you ever want to post advice (not that you ever have to 😊) on taking criticism I’d totally watch that. I struggle with it honestly. And I’m sorry if I’ve missed any video that touches that realm of things.
Also wanted to say that this video is very empowering 😊 ❤
I’ve been subscribed for a few years but just recently started watching you more routinely and I rarely ever comment on videos but I feel so compelled to do so today. While we are at different life stages (my boys are 28, 24 and 17) you inspire me so very much. I was always a full time working Mom with 3 very active boys, home, dog, husband and the like but I had no side gig (now I wish I had) and I am absolutely amazed at your drive and dedication to be your best in sooo many ways. We all have the same 24 hours and girl you get every last drop out of that 24 hours!
My thoughts your growing and changing is this - some people are always going to be so uncomfortable with any change in their lives that they will seek out friends, authors, entertainers and even UA-cam personalities that are constant and unchanging. That’s their struggle though, don’t take that on yourself.
I know you’re the kind of person who is thankful for everything you have and for what every day can offer you, don’t hold yourself back just to keep a few people happy. PS I think we’re all here for all sides of your uncensored personality! 😍
Keep doing what you are doing it helps me alot my child is a grown man but I'm always looking for new recipes and things your doing GREAT JEn I started watching in 2019 I way going through 8 hours of chemo treatments and that's how I found you your videos got me through it all happy to say Cancer free now ❤🇨🇦
Great to hear and God is great!❤❤❤
I've only been here this year I found your channel, My Dr. had mentioned to me about having surgery cause I need to lose weight, I am afraid to get that procedure done. I have lost about 8-10 lbs. but I can't seem to lose anymore than that It usually gets put back on. Anyways I like your video's very much it's real life content. The only 1 video that I didn't watch and that one was about TEMU I had a bad experience with it and Klarna, so I won't go back plus my husband got mad at me for buying items on there he said it wasn't product I really needed and I guess that's partly true. I'm a 68 yo woman just trying to live plus I have lots of pain health issues, in whic I'm trying to deal with those, I do like your content. I haven't seen a video yet on budgeting yet, but that might be interesting to see how that works. Thank you for your video's! Enjoy!
I've been a follower of yours for probably 5 or 6 years. I love your channel. I began watching your channel after a recommendation from YT. I subscribed immediately. I like that you're a midwestern girl. I get your humor and social preferences. I like your cooking videos a lot. You cook some awesome stuff. I have your cookbook and have yet to make one single one of your recipes. LOL I'm so stuck in a rut. I need to get busy and make some. I love your meal prep videos as well.
I've been watching your channel from "beer in the closet talk" days. I LOVE your channel Jen!!! I love watching your growth. Thank you for sharing your journey of change. I frickn LOVE your travel vlogs!!!!!!!! Stay true to yourself Jen.....everyone has opinion.....follow your gut! Take the sponsorships....you are entitled to compensation!
Those were the best!!! so real!!
Hahah I just post the same thing. The beer in the closet days 😂
Even though I admit I watch all your videos lately it gives me homemaking motivation which I need due to having limited mobility and chronic pain, I still am the best wife and homemaker I can be. So washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, or wherever I chooseto clean, or making a meal is difficult and often painful for me. But I have to keep doing what I'm doing or I'll lose the ability to be able to do it. Also my husband works a full time job and still comes home and helps me and does much of the house work. So I try to help him as much as i can because he works so hard and so he doesn't have to do everything and cook every single meal.
Prayers 🙏 🙏🙏
Hiii jen,
I've been around for a few yrs now.
I found you by probably your cook with me and grocery hauls. ( I'm always and still need help prepping food and being consistent😆) I have 2 jobs now plus being a mom ,wife and care for my elderly mom. It's a stressful life but I will take it. Lol
I love all your content and watch no mater what you want to post! 😊
I definitely love your budget hauls and cooking themes.
You have definitely been a huge influence on my cooking skills and prepping food, how to clean fruit and produce! I love that I can relate to you as a working mom.
Of course your life changes through the yrs and having different seasons of life. It's understandable for sure. I'm here for the long haul with you that's for sure! ❤
I am a diehard fan of your channel, I’ve been watching for 3-4 years. I appreciate how you have changed with life as it never stays the same. Covid caused a lot of disruption and changed life as we knew it. I for 1 am so pleased I had you and your fellow tubers to help me get through it. I love your weekend prep, what I eat in a week and especially your videos making “famous” cooks recipes. You have adapted how you work with how your life is now. I hope your turkey videos are still up I love them, I’m off to check. Ps you are looking fantastic x
I started watching your channel in 2020 and you're one of the ones that inspired me to start a channel myself - of all the channels I started watching during the pandemic, yours is one of the only ones I still watch. I watch most of your videos, my favorites are the meal prep, what I eat in a week, and the travel videos (which don't do as well for me either, but they're my favorite to make).
Love your transparency! I'm so glad more creators are talking about all that goes into our videos and how it can become a legit business!
Thank you for your honesty!!!
I found your channel when I was searching for dinner ideas. I stayed because of how real you are and your personality is so much like mine! I’ve been watching you for years (rarely comment). I love your work travel videos! I live vicariously through you 😊 I love all the cooking videos…anything honestly! Just keep being you!
Jen I appreciate u explaining all the background with videos. I like weight loss, cooking and organization videos.
I do struggle with doing a budget video and then saying u spent $900 at Costco. I just think that it could give the wrong impression ( let me help u save on ur groceries then take ur savings and get all the things at Costco). Just want to be sensitive to people in different financial situations. That is not to be critical but just want to be cognizant of other peoples situations.
I’ve been watching you since 2019 and love your content. I actually am one of those people that watch almost everything you put out.
And YEA to Kiera for considering pharmacy. It’s a great profession that I’ve been doing for over 20 year. I work with underserved members of my community and feel rewarded each day.
